Model-Based Architectural Patterns Concept for Home Security System Solutions

Abstract: The home security system is a comprehensive guard against threats to the home and rental properties. The history of the home security system is extensive and has become revolutionary in transforming its abilities to better perform for the user. This system protects owners, residents, their valuables, and provides peace of mind. This vital tool can be enhanced by using a Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) technique, Model-Based Architectural Patterns (MBAP), to produce an elevated level of safety to users. The detailed abilities associated with MBAP development will provide an all-inclusive experience for users to have a personalized security system for their property. This paper discusses a concept that aims to highlight the compound ability of home security and its capacity to provide varieties of viable solutions with various levels of protection using MBAP method. The diverse levels of protection that will be outlined in these patterns will explore different types of intrusions and user interruptions that would require protection of the home through a security system. The concept in this paper also discusses already existing wireless communication protocols which allows for an analysis of the different connectivity types that can be used to demonstrate the choices and variations in the home security system. Additionally, the purpose of this research is to show how the use of advanced Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methods and tools with an architectural pattern library concept can enhance the determination, selection process and solution competence of the home security system. The user requirements, need satisfactions, human factors, and appropriate security levels can be developed using a template like a work-flow process. The work-flow process can accomplish the specific needs and wants of the system in relation to stakeholder desires. This process can display the accurate repetition needed to provide unique protection to each user. The idea is to demonstrate the pattern library development and provide a user template that will serve as an outline of the system. The pattern library will be evolved from requirements that outline the necessary abilities of the system. This paper demonstrates the concept of using advanced MSBE to enhance the home security system selection, requirements allocation and verification to serve as a basis for improving system performance by developing a Model-Based Patten Library (MBPL) from the MBAP’s created that provides unique solutions per user requirements and needs. The patterns will contain a multi-level decomposition of the system and be allocated to the applicable system elements that support various security system protocols like Z-wave.
